ReplyDeletepekerja adalah aset kepada majikan. jadi kebajikan pekerja perlu dijaga.
ReplyDeletePasti ada majikan yang akan mengurangkan pekerja mereka.
ReplyDeleteDiharap kadar gaji akan diselaraskan antara SM, Sabah dan Sarawak pada masa akan datang.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the employers can adapt to the minimum wage policy once it has been implemented on January 1st 2013.

The minimum wage policy set to RM800 in Sabah will help many low income workers improve their lives.

ReplyDeletesyabas kepada kerajaan pimpinan Najib.. akhirnya ada juga gaji minimum di negara ini..
ReplyDeletesaya harap rakyat di negara ini juga terutamanya kumpulan pekerja sentiasa meningkatkan kemahiran dan produktiviti mereka untuk mendapatkan tawaran yang lebih baik, bukan hanya bergantung kepada gaji minimum..
ReplyDeleteDatuk Seri Najib said that the minimum wage will be set at $297 per month for workers in Peninsular Malaysia and $264 for those in East Malaysia. It excludes those in the domestic service sector, such as maids. Malaysia has been negotiating minimum wages separately for maids, most notably with Indonesia.
ReplyDeleteThe new wages will come into effect in six months. They have been in the works since 2009, when Najib unveiled plans to move Malaysia’s economy away from a low-cost model and rely less on cheap labor.
ReplyDeleteFrom a social perspective, this is the right thing to do, so that the most vulnerable groups aren’t taken advantage of, said Yeah Kim Leng, chief economist of Malaysian rating company RAM Holdings. It can also serve as a way of pressuring industries to restructure and go up the value chain.
ReplyDeletePrime Minister Najib Razak has announced a long-awaited minimum-wage policy for Malaysia, in a move that is set to benefit 3.2 million of the country’s lowest-paid workers — including Indonesian maids — while potentially boosting the ruling Barisan Nasional’s (BN) chances at the next general election.
ReplyDeleteThese workers, who make up a quarter of Malaysia’s workforce, currently earn less than 700 Malaysian ringgits ($231) a month and live below the poverty line. They include security guards, as well as construction and plantation workers.
